Resource Information

The item Thank you for being late : an optimist's guide to thriving in the age of accelerations, Thomas L. Friedman represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Eckhart Public Library System.

This item is available to borrow from 1 library branch.

Friedman discusses how the key to understanding the 21st century is understanding that the planet's three largest forces -- Moore's law (technology), the market (globalization) and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss) -- are accelerating all at once. And these accelerations are transforming the five key realms: the workplace, politics, geopolitics, ethics, and community. Friedman posits that we should purposely "be late" -- we should pause to appreciate the amazing historical epoch we're passing through and to reflect on its possibilities and dangers.--
